We use Deel and have employees and contractors in 9 timezones. We are a fully distributed team of 23 people. Deel has been a lifesaver in terms of abstracting away a lot of the compliance and payroll issues. I am a huge proponent. Deel owns most of its entities in its 150+ countries (it used to be less, but they have built out there network a lot in the past year or so). $599 is not a bad rate, considering all of the overhead to setting up an entity, benefits, and hiring a regional manager than can deal with all the local stuff. You have to get to a good 15-20 people in a specific country before it makes sense to switch to your own entity. EDIT: One thing that Deel does _not_ solve is visa sponsorships. They only do this very rarely AFAIK.
